Technoference & Phubbing! Changing Modern Relationships

Phones keep us connected to the world, but they may be disconnecting us from the people right in front of us. In this episode, we explore technoference (technology interrupting real-life interaction) and phubbing (phone snubbing), and how both quietly impact romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics, and even our mental wellness. From scrolling at dinner to emotionally checking out mid-conversation, we break down how constant connectivity affects intimacy, attention, and emotional presence, and what it actually takes to build healthier digital boundaries without going fully offline. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-right-media-mindset/202005/media-and-technoference-in-romantic-relationships https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/lifetime-connections/202203/is-technoference-damaging-your-relationships
